Linda’s poem, “On the First Anniversary of His Death, I Dream of My Father,” was selected to be included in the South Lyon Poetry Project. This community-wide project places ten poems on posters (written by ten Michigan poets) throughout the downtown area in celebration of National Poetry Month. This is the second time one of Linda’s poems has been chosen: her work was also honored in the program’s inaugural year in 2021.
The first major book launch for Bone Country will take place in Ann Arbor at Literati Bookstore on March 29, 2023 at 6:30 pm. Linda will be appearing with poet and colleague Diane DeCillis who will interview her after the reading as they discuss the book’s inspiration, subjects, and themes. This will be an in-person event.
